Surgery with music is a topic that hospitals,
wellness conferences, and women's health organizations are clamoring
for. For over twenty years, Dr. Cash has been researching the
benefits of music with surgery and creating playlists for patients from
all walks of life, undergoing surgeries of all kinds.
In 2011, she was invited to
address the staff of Cleveland Clinic Florida about "Music as an
Adjunct to Anesthesia."
You will learn how
Music calms and soothes the patient so
they require:
less anxiety meds
less anesthesia
less pain meds
Headphones put the music directly into
patients brain, though the eighth cranial nerve, so that patient
is not affected by doctor's music, which is usually faster than
patient needs and otherwise not suitable for patient. Also
blocks OR conversations that are not good for patient.
Patient recovers faster and more safely as
a result of less medication and hospital can process more
patients safely through the hospital.
